1. And in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2. Son of man, write the name of the day, this same day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this same day.
3. Utter a parable to the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Put on the pot, put it on,and also pour water into it.
4. Gather the pieces into it,even every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder.Fill it with the choice bones;
5. take the choicest of the flock,and also pile the bones under it;make it boil well,also seethe its bones in it.
6. Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city,to the pot whose rust is in it,and whose rust has not gone out of it!Take out of it piece by piecewithout choosing.
